Careers

The First, A National Banking Association. Just the Career for You!

History

In 1995, a few friends got together on a back porch near Hattiesburg, MS and talked about creating a bank that would take care of people… and The First was born. Now, that dream has grown from a back porch to cities and towns all over South Mississippi, Louisiana, South Alabama, and Florida. The First is more than a bank… because it is still a group of friends building relationships and taking care of business one customer at a time!

Culture

The First applies the same philosophy to our employees as well as to our customers. We care about each and every one of our employees - you won’t be just another number. We may have 63 branches in four states, but that small town feeling has never left us and that is apparent in the friendly, open, and caring personalities of our employees. If you are looking for a career with a company that is as dedicated, driven, and passionate about building relationships as you are, The First is just the Career for You!
